When was the last time you wasted food?
Do you know what it means to waste food?
Have you ever gone to bed on an empty stomach while you watched your neighbour throw away perfectly edible food, in the dumpster truck?
Why do we waste food?
How do we waste food?
How is it “acceptable” to many of us that we are wasting 2.5 BILLION TONS of food every year, according to the FAO and National Geographic?
Sincerely, how can we do this?
Do we just imagine that we have an endless stream of resources to make this food?
Are we simply indifferent to the sweat and pains of so many people that created this food?
Do we even love our neighbours like we love ourselves, when we can boldly throw away perfectly edible food in the trash and not share it with our neighbours that do not have anything to eat?

Please do not waste food!
Someone out there certainly needs it more than you do!

I have gone hungry for hours before simply because I wasted food when I still had it in plenty!
It’s never a good feeling, believe me.
It is heartbreaking to see one wasting food yet many sleep hungry
😩😩
This subject is close to my heart ❤️
😍❤️
This is definitely a big issue. Thank you for speaking out on this.
😍👏🏿
I don’t like to waste food when I know many other people don’t have anything to eat! Makes me feel bad

This a crucial topic we all need to talk more about. Food wastage is such a disrespect to the entirety of humanity and every being in this world. Thank you for choosing to write on this.
😍👏🏿
I never waste food. Even if I end up not using all of the food, it goes in my compost bin for use in the garden and around the house. I even compost my scraps.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
As always, your articles touch me deeply. So many of us who live ‘privileged’ lives continue to do this – and sadly I am also guilty at times. Thank you for opening my eyes – it is never too late to focus on what is right for the planet and it’s citizens!!
😍👏🏿
I love composting. I have been doing a compost drop off for years. I am hoping to start my own compost at home.
😍👏🏿
I don’t like when people waste food. Always aim and encourage people to practice eating what they need and that is something I do myself as well. Great topic to cover and allow people to know about it.
😍👏🏿
It’s sad that so many don’t think twice about wasting food. I just wrote about minimizing food waste during the holiday season. Tips for a More Sustainable Holiday Season Food waste during the holidays is just plain crazy.

This is really bad and thanks you for reminding us to stop wasting food. We definitely have to take action.
😍👏🏿
This is really the reality and it’s heartbreaking. As for me, I try as much as I can to not waste food as much as I can do. This post is indeed a great reminder for everyone.
😍👏🏿
Food wastage is such a huge problem of today’s world. Luckily someone talked about this.
😍👏🏿
This is such a thoughtful post, I could literally feel your heart in it. I’m definitely going to try not to waste any more food. I have never been a waster though, but this calls for more caution.
😍👏🏿
So heartbreaking. This is an important article as many of us are wasteful – we need articles like this to remind us to stop and think.
😍👏🏿
I agree! It is one of the things I hate most how much food gets wasted. That is why I like to shop weekly for just the stuff we will use for that week & I make sure to use things before they go bad. We always save and eat left overs too if there are any.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This is such a good post! I’ve wanted to go zero-waste for a long time, it’s something I plan to do eventually!
😍👏🏿
It is heartbreaking that many do not have access to food resources. I make a concerted effort to compost or give any left overs to my pup so that there isn’t any food waste.
😍👏🏿
Food waste is a real problem in any country and it’s so sad what’s happening to the Earth in general. Thanks for raising awareness!
😍👏🏿
In Japan, we give importance to food immensely. They really have good systems here to not waste food in schools and at home. This was a great reminded again. Thank you.
😍👏🏿
So many people would appreciate our extras. It is a good reminder to see this post.
😍👏🏿
We are definitely a wasteful society. I try to be good about food waste, and we also compost food scraps.
😍👏🏿
I keep saying these words to many people so we can make the world a better place. At least we should have some ways to do with the wasted food.
😍👏🏿
I hate wasting food, and this is a constant battle in our household with teenagers. They are lucky that they haven’t felt TRUE hunger, and I reckon once they experienced it then they will understand. That’s when they finally leave our nest.
I don’t mind eating our leftover foods at home. It is important to be appreciative and grateful for food.
😍👏🏿
I totally agree with you that we shouldn’t waste food. As someone who lives alone, I value food more and make sure to eat even my leftovers.
Thank you for that.
😍
Totally agree with you on that, wasting food is one of the things something I hate the most. When I lived in the Philippines, they are so friendly and generous, we often give away food to our neighbors or random people rather than waste perfectly edible food. There are plenty of things that can be done so we can’t or lessen wasting food and hopefully a lot more people will do the same
😍👏🏿
It was an informative article, I hope one day everyone will prevent waste.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The only thing worse than wasting food is wasting coffee! Great article.
😂👏🏿👏🏿
I absolutely hate wasting food too. It drives me nuts when we buy too much and things go bad.
😩😩
